Chapter 1105： Norwegian Sea Battle III (1/2)
Slide 1105
The last destroyer also failed to withdraw from the battlefield. After hurriedly firing 4 torpedoes, the destroyer was blocked by Wiesbaden, which turned back. A 120mm shell landed on an unfired torpedo tube. Then, a huge fireball rose from the surface of the sea. Hundreds of tons of sea water rushed into the sky. When the flames and water mist dispersed, except for some debris After that, there was no trace of this ship.
”Well, let's keep going!” After killing 3 destroyers in less than 20 minutes, the German fleet continued to evacuate to the southwest.
”It seems that this will be a long hunt. Report to the Second Squadron, so that War exhaustion and the Barlem are ready to keep up!” Thomas ordered.
The Queen’s ship design is still a bit worse. When the German fleet reached a speed of 27 knots, the Queen of the Thomas Fleet was finally a little bit unable to hold it, and Thomas did not dare to maintain 25 knots for a long time. After all, the two battleships had hidden injuries. The speed gradually drops to 24 knots, which means that the distance between the two parties will increase by about 6 kilometers per hour. And two hours later, Thomas could no longer see the two German battlecruisers, but it didn't matter, the seaplane carrier waiting on the side began to dispatch planes to follow the two battleships. In order to ensure the accuracy of tracking, the British implemented a dual-machine tracking strategy. The position of the German fleet is determined by the data provided by the two aircraft.
Visibility was good today. The two British Schott seaplanes were able to spot the two German battlecruisers that hadn’t run far.
”Look, the two German battlecruisers are so beautiful. Compared with these two panthers, our lions and tigers are like lynxes.” Lieutenant Schaubert piloting one of the planes Sincerely admired the two German warships.
”They seem to slow down?” said the observer in the back seat.
”Yeah, is there something wrong with their power system? The two warships slowed down at the same time. I think we need to lean up and see.” Lieutenant Schobert said.
”Okay, send a signal to Martin and say we go up and see.” As Lieutenant Schobert operated the plane and leaned in.
What's it called? Curiosity killed the cat! Lieutenant Schaubert was killed by curiosity. At this time, he was on the slender aft deck of the battlecruiser Blücher. The two seaplanes were ready to go, and the crane next to the apron had already installed two J-1s. The seaplane was put on the sea, relying on its own power, the two planes took off one after another. And Lieutenant Schobert’s seaplane was caught by one of them!
”It's a German seaplane! I should have known it a long time ago.” Lieutenant Schaubert was operating a huge twin-engine plane trying to avoid opponents. You must know that this plane is purely for reconnaissance. It is better than J- in terms of range and endurance. There are too many strong ones, but if you talk about air combat, you really can't beat it or get away!
The twin-engine aircraft carrying a huge pontoon was caught off guard by a sensitive opponent, who knocked off the wings of the seaplane with just one burst, and after the second burst, a bullet directly smashed the front block. The windshield shot the ensign, and a minute later, the plane crashed into the sea, while another J-1 seaplane successfully drove away another SCHOTT seaplane.
